Philippe Apchin

The guide, Philippe, could not have been better: very experienced, hard-working, took safety seriously, gently got us going beyond our comfort zones, helped us through difficult weather, judged our mood very well, deviated a little from the programme and gave us a terrific alternative when it was necessary, a wonderful driver, approachable and friendly.

Philippe was excellent. Always attentive, eager to inform and point things out. Led at a good pace. Took pleasure in what he was doing. An excellent driver.

Could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, professional and flexible guide! Philippe was magnificent in every regard.

Superb Guide. Pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, good driver and considerate. He went out of his way to take us to places that were not on the itinerary but which he knew were close and interesting. He was very flexible when weather was poor, so that we still got to walk and see interesting places. He was really great, and made the experience very special. I would be more than happy if I ended up with him as a Guide on another walk!

Our guide, Philippe: Other than his French accent(kidding) he was exceptional. My wife(Denise) and I thoroughly enjoyed how he managed the group, his knowledge of the area and levity. His flexibility in meeting the needs of the group represented his vast experience in tour guiding a variety of demographics. We hope to have him guide us on future trips!

Philippe as I said earlier made me feel safe and gave me a lot more information about the areas we toured than I possible could remember. He has a good sense of humor, which always helps.

Philippe was conscientious, considerate and very responsive to the needs of all group members.

Lovely guide, very personable, French but excellent English speaker and knew the history of the Cotswolds and its villages well

Full of information, fun stories.

Philippe was fantastic. He took the needs of each person on our tour and catered to them which was not always an easy thing to do !His ability to understand the pace and distance the group needed was excellent. He was extreme knowledgeable on fauna and floors, history and lore. He was a great conversationalist over meals . I would definitely want to do more trips with in in particular . He is also a very competent driver and has a knack for a finding parking! A+
